About this fabric

The close weave reads as a muted, cool grey rather than a warm taupe, with the folded swatch creating pronounced tonal depth. Supplied as 100% linen at approximately 137cm wide, Elba is suitable for curtains and fixed upholstery. It carries a General Domestic upholstery grade and allows 3% shrinkage. Care is by delicate wash at 30C or dry cleaning.

How to use it

Use Elba Shadow for full-length curtains where its cool charcoal tone can soften daylight without becoming stark black. It also brings a calm, understated finish to domestic fixed upholstery, especially alongside pale stone, chalk or brushed-metal accents.

Pairs well with

Elba Shadow is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
